LibriVox recording of The Pirates of Ersatz, by Murray Leinster. Read by Elliott Miller.
Bron is the offspring of infamous space pirates but instead of following in the family footsteps he decides to become an electronic engineer. Unfortunately, every time he tries to get out, something pulls him back in. This is a tongue-in-cheek space adventure along the lines of the Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison. It was originally published in the FEB-APR issues of Astounding Science Fiction in 1959. (Summary by Elliott Miller)

Sci-fi, very interesting, very creative, unpredictable, light hearted humor, quite entertaining. The reader is a compliment to this story too.

This story is like a mental vacation with its meandering plot line & relentless dry humor. The reader, Elliott Miller, is perfectly droll, repeatedly leaving me smiling.
I especially liked the Interstellar Ambassador and the no-nonsense grandfather.
